I got this phone from Mr Logout. I didn't hesitate, as ZTE was similar to Xiaomi in its early days. It was a kind of Chinese "lovebrand" that offered cheap phones with fairly good hardware. But then it disappeared.
To be honest, it didn't disappear at all, but it doesn't make so many phones, and I haven't seen anyone with a ZTE phone in the last seven years.
So, here's the Blade C V807. It dates from 2013 and has a fairly average display for its time with a resolution of 480 x 800 pixels. It runs on Android 4.1 and has a dual-core Cortex A9 processor.
The advantage is that there is quite a lot of storage available to the user. A bit more than half of its built-in 4 GB. This was a very good amount, as many low-end phones had very little internal memory available, so it was very tricky to fit in the necessary apps. The 512 MB of RAM aren't really bad either.
The phone isn't amazing, but it's not bad either. The UI is quite smooth, even after all these years, and I could see myself using this phone as my daily device as it has (had) everything I need.
And this one is special... It has a dedicated 'search' button on the bottom bar, so you can access Google even faster. I've never liked one-purpose buttons that lead to things I don't use, but this one makes the phone different. And that's something I like.
